iCreate helped us in connecting with industries in Ahmedabad for our pilots, reaching out to over 25 industries. Things moved rapidly, people showed interest, and we got a letter of intent from one company and have already started work on it
The iCreate Seed Stage Accelerator will be a very intense programme of three modules, spanning over four weeks. Its starting point is you – a person/team with a product or service ready to be taken to market. We understand that you have already completed the work needed to have an almost ready offering. This programme is designed to take you through a series of steps that give you the confidence that you and your product have what it takes to build a high growth company.
Program Fees: INR 40000
4-WEEK PROGRAMME (2 weeks online + 2 weeks at iCreate campus)
Discover how to fast-track your startup into a successful business. Begin by validating all your business assumptions, create a robust business plan, and convert it into sound strategic choices that will power you to the next level.
The iSA programme consists of four mentor-guided modules:
Module 1: Defining your market segment, clearly defining who your customer is and what value they receive from your offering, your organisation structure, your business funding and building strategy and then putting the projected numbers (your target customers, your value proposition to them and your costs of doing business) into an operational cum financial plan. Projected numbers will show you the path to becoming a successful, high growth business
Module 2: Actually, going out and validating the projected numbers. There will be intense customer engagements, supplier and ecosystem partner engagements as well as secondary research for the validation of all assumptions.
Module 3: Refining your assumptions and strategy in light of real evidence coming from the market, and putting it all together into a strategy and a numbers-based, credible, growth plan for your planned business.
Module 4: Your output from this program will be a complete operational cum financial roadmap that will guide you to a high growth business, and the underlying organization as well as enabling the ecosystem that would power it.
At iCreate, we recognise how important good mentors are to guiding, challenging, motivating startups in translating their dreams into reality. We assign each startup a mentor or a group of mentors to shape the desired outcome as per a pre-planned schedule. Seasoned and accomplished technical as well as business mentors guide all our projects with a mandate to drive the startup founders towards achieving mutually determined outcomes.
